On Sunday, Iran’s top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi issued a fatwa against U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Mehr News Agency, after Trump and Netanyahu threatened to eliminate Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Shirazi declared the fatwa against them and anyone who threatens the Supreme Leader of Iran whom he described with the title of Marja’ Taqlid, which means the “source to follow” or main “religious reference,” usually given to the highest level of Twelver Shia religious cleric. Clerics like Makarem Shirazi are considered to have the authority of life and death in Iran and can make legal decisions within Islamic law for their followers and lower-ranking clerics, but most Iranians are currently fed up with this Shia-religious nonsense that is keeping their country backward, in poverty and constant danger.

Shockingly, the same Shiite cleric who issued the fatwa after the 12-Day war between Israel and Iran which was briefly joined by the U.S. following American military strikes against Tehran’s nuclear program, penned a thank you letter to the late Pope Francis in 2016 for the Catholic leader’s public denial of any relationship between terrorist operations by Takfiri [extremist] groups and Islam. 

Takfiri groups are all extremist Islamic groups that consider other Muslims as non-believers (takfir) and justify violence against them. This ideology is a core tenet for groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS, but also Hamas and Hezbollah that are backed by Iran, and even if they publicly like to state the contrary, Hamas considers, for example, Ibn Kathir, a medieval Quranic commentator, a significant inspiring figure in their struggle, just as ISIS does, and all these groups often draw on the writings of medieval Islamic scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah and the aforementioned Ibn Kathir, as well as modern figures like Sayyid Qutb ( 1906 – 1966), considered “the Father of Salafi Jihadism,” the man who inspired today’s global jihadists to justify their insane actions that often mimic the Order of Assassins, as I explained in Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 10: Islamic Freemasonry and the Secret Societies Behind the Eternal Conflict in the Middle East.

Paradoxically, Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi who is still one of Iran’s leading religious figures in a country considered a state sponsor of terrorism by the United States since 1984, shamelessly wrote in his letter, which was handed to the Jesuit pope nine years ago by Iran’s Ambassador to Vatican City, “I explicitly announce that according to Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslims, Takfiri sects are renegades of Islam and deemed to be the greatest scourge on humanity.”  His doubtful remarks fueled with hypocrisy came after the late Pope Francis had defended Muslims stressing that “Islam is NOT terrorism.” 

That exchange marked a contrast with the criticisms Makarem Shirazi had delivered to Francis’ predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, for comments perceived as anti-Islamic. Of course, Makarem Shirazi’s stances were not purely faith-based, but also reflected the geopolitical orientation of the Islamic Republic, as in his implication that the “takfiri groups” prosper, thanks to the support of the “arrogant powers” (read the U.S.) without mentioning Iranian’s involvement. The late Pope Francis, leader of the Catholic world, later expressed even gratitude to Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi for his letter.

Overall, however, his outreach to the late Francis who later visited Najaf,Iraq in 2021, a prominent holy city for Shia Muslims, can be seen as another step towards the infamous “One World Religion,” I’ve described in detail in Volume 6.66 and Volume 7 of my Confessions.  It should be no surprise that the same Grand Ayatollah who once praised the Jesuit pope, is now stating that because Trump and Netanyahu “waged war against [Allah]” they “must be made to regret their words and actions.” He then added, “Those who threaten the leadership and integrity of the Islamic Ummah are to be considered [mohareb].” Let’s remember that under the Iranian penal code, mohareb means someone who wages war against God and must be punished by “execution or crucifixion” or face “amputation of the right hand and left foot or exile.”  

The highways leading into Tehran might be busy again, full of cars carrying families and suitcases, with the cautious hope that home might finally be safe, but in the meantime, three Iranian men were executed this week on alleged charges of collaborating with Israel, according to the Islamic Republic judiciary, bringing the total number of people put to death on similar charges during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel to six. The crackdown follows a war with Israel that Iranian authorities say left at least 627 people dead and 4,870 injured, along with major infrastructure damage across the country. Iran’s current regime maintains power, and we still hope for a regime change in the aftermath of the destruction of military infrastructure and the killing of many high-ranking military commanders,

“Executions, Arrests, and Paranoia,” as The Wall Street Journal described the current situation in Iran, seems to be the grim reality of Iran’s uncertain future. While officially not reacting directly to the Iranian revolution, a Jesuit priest and self-described champion of liberal politics, Patrick Riordan of the Irish Province of the Society of Jesus, who specializes in political philosophy, has participated in the last few years in interfaith meetings with Shia Muslims and representatives of the Church of England and German Evangelicals in London, Berlin, and Tehran. This suggests that despite the challenging political and religious environment, Jesuits have never given up their efforts towards the current creation of a “One World Religion” and a “One World Government,” as I explained in my latest book Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 12: History, Secret Societies, and the Politics of the Jesuit New World Order and their Luciferian Court.

Recently, in a wide-ranging interview on the future and global existential risks, billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel, who participated to the Jesuit-controlled Bilderberg meeting in Sweden, raised alarms not only about familiar threats like nuclear war, climate change, and artificial intelligence but also about what he sees as a more insidious danger: the rise of a one-world totalitarian state. Speaking to the New York Times’s Ross Douthat, Thiel argued that the default political response to global crises—centralized, supranational governance—could plunge humanity into authoritarianism. The same authoritarianism let me add, that is bringing together the Jesuits and the criminal Shia clerics of Iran’s theocracy.
